This sketch shows three rabbits gathered around a teapot. The mother rabbit, dressed in a blue dress, pours tea from a silver pot while her two children watch. The scene looks cozy, with a warm, fuzzy glow and a hint of a fireplace in the background. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to keep it playful and lively. The rabbits’ fur and the teapot’s details are drawn with simple lines, giving it a friendly, handmade feel. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
